I am excited about more than just youth culture, and youth is also stretching a bit longer now. But I have to say resistance and disregard keeps me excited.

My photography has really always been about what I feel I'm getting out of it. What people on the outside get doesn't concern me.

Sometimes when people look at the work I've done with my family, they think it's autobiographical. But it really isn't. It's more about the idea of family.

Holland is a fairly small country, and in a weird way, somewhat conservative. That might surprise people because it is a very tolerant place, but it's also a somewhat Calvinist country.

In New York, unlike Holland, there are newspaper stands on every corner. That was a big headline all over the city.

I have always made films simultaneously, so they go hand in hand. I think that my books are like films.

I'm a very curious person. And most people are charmed by curiosity - especially if you are curious about them or what they are doing . . . unless they are breaking into a car or something.
